Longer-term support

We offer in-person mental health and wellbeing support tailored to you, for as long as you need it. Through this service, also known as ‘Floating Support’, our Wellbeing Support workers offer flexible practical, social, and emotional support to help you live more independently.

Sign up for support

What you can expect

  • Long-term (no fixed end date) practical, social and emotional support to help you live more independently. 
  • You will have a dedicated key worker supported by a team of placement students who will visit you as often as you like. This is generally twice a week but can be more or less, depending on what you need.
  •  Your Wellbeing Support Worker will help build a relationship with you, identify what areas you’d like to work on and how they can best support you. These may change over time as you gain confidence and develop strategies for managing your wellbeing.

Who we can support

  • Anyone over 18 who has funding from Camden Council or is able to self-fund.
  • We work with lots of people who are all looking for support with different things, e.g.:
    • managing physical or mental health challenges
    • making new social connections
    • needing practical support with other welfare needs.
  • If you’re wondering if you or someone you know or work with could benefit from this service, please get in touch for an initial chat.

How to access support

  • Fill out our Longer-term Support Form.
  • Other people such as your GP, social worker or even a friend or family member can also refer you by filling in the form on your behalf.
  • Please note, unlike our other free support services, this service costs £27/hour and can be paid for:
    • through your Personal Budget if you are currently in receipt of an adult social care package
    • as a self-funder, if you have the resources or someone who is willing to cover these costs for you
  • If you would like to start the process of receiving funded support, we recommend that you call Adult Social Care directly on 020 7974 4444 or ask another support professional for help.

What people say

“What I have found most valuable is having people around me when I was feeling lonely. People who really care about me.”

“I feel protected. I feel safe. I know that whatever I’m talking about is confidential. I can tell Likewise if I feel unwell which is very valuable – it helps prevent relapse.”

“I always feel listened to and heard, and I always looking forward to my sessions”.
